Voice Of A Child Poem by Masuma Mirza

With the smile on her face she came close to me, Handed
me a letter hiding all her misery.........
So busy I was didn't lend her an ear, And this is the thing
I always regret.........
I imagine the day that has passed so far, The day when my
mommy brought me a toy car..........
In the journey from a toy car to my brand new wheels, I
never asked her choice or even what she feels........
The first day of my school was such an ace, But what
strikes my soul is my mum 's blissful face.......
The spark and the glory she had in her eyes, Her smile
was known; I know it never lies......
She was Damn happy for me I noticed it in her eye, The
tears of happiness which I could never deny.........
When I was a teen I got my phone and cool stuff, I never
thanked her though it was all because of her.......
In my dreams every night that 's all I see, My mommy, My
mum lying besides me.......
The letter was expressing her feelings and love for
me, The pain and agony she felt was now set free........
Emotions and love for me were just silly things, as i was
being selfish and crazy over small blings.....
My taunts and words of hatred creep and crawl slowly up
my mind, whispered the things I did to her for sure were
not kind......
I was always tugged in fight with you, I know I was never
right, But mom my arms are waiting for you, Please come
back and hug me tight........
